Sessionhandling and mod_backhand
Aloha everybody:

I want to handle sessions (with server located files) in a cluster managed
by mod_backhand. Do I need to have one shared session folder for all members
of the cluster or does mod_backhand transfer the session info?

Thanks for your help!

mod_backhand will allow you to perform "session sticky" load balancing
so that subsequent requests from a cookied user always go to the same
machine. mod_backhand itself does nothing to help share session states.
